Email appears legitimate, but seems weird

Hello,
I received an email that claims to be from the Official Communication Library of the Church. It uses Church logos, and even the same banner of the Official Communication Library as I can see it online. However, when I go to click on the link, it asks me to sign in. I have not clicked the link to sign in. Instead I have gone online and signed in through the official website. When going that route, I find no link or notice of this ‘supposed’ letter from the Church. Should I be concerned?

Thanks.
Dallin

P.S. I am a primary teacher and do not hold a leadership calling right now, and so I don’t expect to be receiving Official Letters.

If you to to "letters", officially called the "Official Communication Library" (https://www.lds.org/letters), you can read the message(s) indicated.

There is no kind of "pop up" feature that directs to to them. The Library is just an archive of letters from church leaders that pertain to your calling with no kind of "read/unread" flag. The email you received is the one and only notice that something new has been added.

As the letter provides information for the Primary curriculum in 2019 (among other things), that would explain why you received the e-mail.

I think OP raises a valid point. What's to keep someone from spoofing the email to direct a leader to a fake site to steal their login information?

In this case the letter is legitimate, but is easy to spoof and sets a bad precedent with the leaders to follow links in emails.
